Lottery League participants are scrambling to get their recording/music files submitted to the Council of Chiefs.
It will be interesting to hear the variety that this compilation will produce. I am looking forward to hearing it, and I am delighted that I took part with my band, The Newdicals. Get your files in!
Before this became too past tense, it became clear that I needed to present a bulk photo drop here of a before and during montage of images from the Lottery League Big Show (April 10 2010). In addition to the Big Show itself, I chose to include several images from basically two days before(4/08/10); in which the Council of Chiefs and others involved with this event were busy organizing and setting up. This sort of shows the kind of “human interest” concerns and a behind the scenes look at what goes on to make something like the Big Show work! These images are random and do not cover the entire event, it was overwhelming and difficult to document such a happening. Excuse the quality of said images, they were taken with a cell phone camera.
Lottery League was a fantastic undertaking and I am looking forward to the next round in 2012. Every two years is a much needed break.
Thanks to the Council of Chiefs, you can now find more info about the Cleveland Lottery League at lotteryleague.blogspot.com! Updates and archives of this expanding North East Ohio phenomenon and more information about the the draft event on February 5th 2010 can be spotted there!

The surveys are filled out, the photos are being submitted and the draft is on!
Yes, it is the 2010 Cleveland Lottery League Draft going down at the Beachland Ballroom on Friday February 5th.
The new installment of the Lottery League has even more artists and musicians this year. Word has it that the breadth, width and variety of talent has been expanded to include more hip cats from the noise community and visual artists!!! Hell yeahz!
I have been referred to the league this year by a good friend and I look forward to the results. Who knows: I may end up working with a blues guitarist, a painter and a trombone player. (????)
The ease by which I got registered and signed up for this event was great! Browsing and filling out the survey really got me “geeked up” as it were.
And of, course the promotion for the draft features the flier art of John G. Great stuff!
See you on the fifth!
